Study: Going to Church Can Lower Blood Pressure; Findings in Norway Compatible with US Research

The Big News Network website reports today (December 26, 2011) that -- based on findings from a new study in Norway -- attending church services helps to lower a person's blood pressure.

"We found that the more often the participants went to church, the lower their blood pressure," Torgeir Sorensen, from the School of Theology and Religious Psychology Center in Norway said.

Previous research in the United States has shown that there is a possible link between people who attend church and lower blood pressure.

"Our findings are almost identical to those previously reported from the United States," Sorensen said.
